You know those are jokes, right? 
He does that sort of thing a lot.

That does seem like the sort of thing that Colin Quinn would mistake for comedy.
The world breaks everyone and afterward many are strong in the broken places. But those that will not break it kills. It kills the very good and the very gentle and the very brave impartially. If you are none of these you can be sure it will kill you too but there will be no special hurry.

Hahahaha yes indeed

They put all the SNL of the 2000s on netflix (canada) now. I watched a couple Of 2001 and it was not that funny but much funnier than now really. At least it looked like they were trying to come up with something. Much lazier now.

Maybe lorne is done. Will this show live on after him?

January 14, 2012 - Daniel Radcliffe / Lana Del Rey    
February 4, 2012 - Channing Tatum / Bon Iver
February 11, 2012 - Zooey Deschanel / Karmin

I feel like the rest of the world is about nine years late in discovering Zooey.  She's been a slow simmer, at the very least.  Could not care less about Tatum.  Yawn.

Recently: The Fallon episode about a month ago was one of the greater episodes of recent memory, not only for its nostalgia factor (which went a long way towards cementing how potent that era was), but it went to reiterate how energetic and enthusiastic a performer Fallon is.  The show is harder to watch now, not the same as it was in that golden age, but that's a familiar refrain anyway.

Was really surprised to see Barkley host a third time, but he has a good sense of humor, lending to sketches they'd be harder pressed to do otherwise.  The NBA on TNT sketch was quite amusing for that reason, what with Barkley aping Shaq and Kenan doing his hilarious Barkley.  Cold opening lampooning Santorum was teethless.  It's painful and boring watching SNL do political stuff these days, when they so easily miss the mark.  Wiig was annoying as always, even in that pretaped commercial.  Missed some of the back end of the show; DVR cut out.  Look forward to seeing what Radcliffe can do.  If he's as energetic as Gordon-Levitt, it'll be a good show.

Maya Rudolph to Host 'Saturday Night Live'

Former Saturday Night Live regular Maya Rudolph is heading back to Studio 8H, this time to host.

Currently starring on NBC comedy Up All Night, Rudolph will lead the Feb. 18 episode with musical guest Sleigh Bells. This marks her first time hosting the live late-night sketch comedy show since she left in 2007.

The Brooklyn-based duo Sleigh Bells will make their network TV debut on SNL. Their new album, Reign of Terror, is set for release Feb. 21. They came on to the scene with 2010's Treats.

Rudolph was last seen in the Universal big-screen comedy Bridesmaids, which earned two Academy Award nominations. She follows in the footsteps of SNL alum Jimmy Fallon, who returned to his old stomping grounds in December as host.

SNL is produced in association with Broadway Video. The creator and executive producer is Lorne Michaels.
Hosting this weekend for the first time is New Girl star Zooey Deschanel with musical guest Bon Iver.

I thought this would be Mac posting about how Paul Brittain got axed.  Paul Brittain got axed, a la Jeff Richards.  He had some good moments.  If I had it my way, they'd've axed Jay Pharoah.  A one-note impressionist does not make a good cast member.  Unless you're Darrell Hammond, and he hit every note anyway.

Yay for Maya.  Thanks, Mac.

Musical guest with Zooey is Karmin (no idea).

When I saw Bon Iver I knew he had already been on, so I was trying to picture Zooey on SNL and it hurt my brain.
I am Torgo. I take care of the place while the Master is away.

That second sentence made no sense.  That was Bon Iver's first SNL appearance.

Lindsay Lohan Set to Host SNL
The actress does not have any upcoming film projects to promote, but she is scheduled to join the cast of "Saturday Night Live" for her fourth time on March 3.
Source: THR

While she doesn't have any film, TV, or music projects to promote, Lindsay Lohan will be hosting the next episode of Saturday Night Live, two weeks from now on March 3.

"SNL! I love @NBC !!!!!!!!!!!!!" Lohan tweeted after the NBC show revealed in an on-air promo and Twitter posting that she would host its March 3 episode. She also changed her Twitter profile picture to the show's promo ad.

"That's right: March 3rd, @lindsaylohan with musical guest Jack White!! See you then! #SNL #March3rd," the show tweeted.

This will be Lohan's first time back on the sketch comedy show since 2006, but the actress hosted a total of three times in the mid-2000s. At the time, Tina Fey was head writer for SNL, and she seemed to support Lohan after co-starring with her in 2004's Mean Girls.

Lohan has maintained a good relationship with the show throughout her career, and has also publicly referred to show executive producer Lorne Michaels as a mentor and father figure. Yet, nearly a year ago, Lohan sent Michaels a letter stating she was upset by the show repeatedly taking digs at her expense. That Saturday night's show was hosted by Miley Cyrus. Cyrus, who herself had been in the tabloids lately for wearing a revealing outfit and smoking salvia, poked fun at Lohan during a song.

"I never stole a necklace or got a DUI / Never cheated on my wife like that golfer guy / So what if you can see a little boob from the side? / I'm sorry that I'm not perfect," Cyrus sang during her opening monologue.

Lohan is set to finish her community service assignment after pleading guilty in May to stealing a necklace from a Venice, California, jewelry store. She served five weeks of home confinement over the summer for that misdemeanor theft and violation of another probation. Lohan predicted she would finish her community service and counseling requirements well ahead of the March 29 deadline set by Judge Stephanie Sautner, who is overseeing her case, CNN reports.

"I've done all my days," Lohan said, referring to the shifts she must work at the Los Angeles County morgue each month. If so, next Wednesday's monthly appearance before Sautner should be as short and positive as the past two months have been for Lohan.

While all seems to be positive lately for the actress in her personal life, her career has been mostly on hold while she rebuilds herself. The most recent work Lohan has had was a nude spread in Playboy magazine in December, for which THR reported she was paid nearly $1 million.

'SNL' Unveils Hosts, Musical Guests for Three Episodes of New Season

BY ROLLING STONE

Saturday Night Live has unveiled the hosts and musical guests for three episodes of its upcoming 38th season. Family Guy creator and Ted mastermind Seth MacFarlane will host the season premiere on September 15th with Frank Ocean as the musical guest. Joseph Gordon-Levitt will host the September 22nd episode with Mumford & Sons as musical guests, and the show will take a British turn on October 6th with Daniel Craig as host and Muse as musical guests. The episodes will be MacFarlane's first as host and Craig's debut on the show. Gordon-Levitt hosted SNL in 2009.

SNL’ Adding 2 Chicago Sketch Comedians
Source: Deadline

UPDATE: Lorne Michaels is finding new blood for Saturday Night Live after the departures of Kristen Wiig, Andy Samberg, and Abby Elliott and the expected exit of Jason Sudeikis. Deadline has confirmed what the very reliable Comic’s Comic blog following the standup scene first reported: that SNL will bring Chicago sketch comedians Aidy Bryant and Tim Robinson on board when the show launches production Monday for the first week of Season 38. Many previous SNL alums come from the Windy City comedy scene where Bryant and Robinson are veterans, including Second City, iO, the Annoyance Theater and elsewhere around the city. Seth MacFarlane is hosting the season premiere on September 15 with musical guest Frank Ocean.

Also, Neil Casey was added as a writer.
This guy is a genius improviser, one of the best working. He always amazes me and I wouldn't be surprised if he got to do some on-camera stuff down the road.

Tonight's episode with Louie C.K. was one of the best of recent memory.  His monologue was great as expected, as were several sketches he was in, including especially of note a wonderful bit stuck at 12:50 with Kate McKinnon, reminiscent a tiny bit of Will Ferrell and Molly Shannon's awkward airport bar date sketch, though way more off the wall and less awkward.  Lincoln was an instant classic.  Fox and Friends was timely.  I missed the cold open, but all the other goodness made up for it, even the sketch where Louie was clad as some sort of viking, climbing up a mountain, blowing an obnoxiously loud ram's horn to deliver a message.  Check it ooooout.  (fun. was fun, too.)

Next time: Anne Hathaway and Rihanna.

I'm amazed by how quickly Kate McKinnon and Cecily Strong have taken over the show.  I'll also be amazed if Aidy Bryant and Tim Robinson survive to see a second season.
